As a kid who grew up in foster care, it comes as a shock to discover at age forty-two that I do have family. More specifically, recently deceased family—an aunt I never knew I had who left her fortune to her closest surviving relative. That’s me. It doesn’t take me long to put that money to good use. I divorce the crap out of my cheating husband who’s always rubbed his affairs in my face, saying I’m too old to start over with somebody new and that I’m lucky to have him. Yeah, I am lucky—lucky to be rid of him. But now I’m alone for the first time in two decades, and I have no idea what to do with my life. How do you press the restart button on life when you’re courting menopause and have more wrinkles and curves than you’d prefer? I don’t know what most people do, but I enroll in a poetry course at the local university that I’ve always wanted to take but haven’t had the guts to. I go to class expecting to pick up some tips about rhymes and iambs. Instead, I get knocked over by the sight of my super freaking hot—and decades younger—teacher, locally famed poet Rowan Keating. He sets my panties on fire in a way I haven’t felt in years. Since I’m doing this new thing of going for the things I want, I initiate an inappropriate relationship with Mr. Keating—only to find out that he’s protecting a huge secret. He won’t tell me what it is. I’m terrified that he’s after the money that gave me all this glorious freedom. I have to protect that at all costs. The only problem is that Mr. Keating treats me like a lady and makes me feel like a goddess. And the sex—well, it’s off the damn charts. I don’t want to walk away from him, but is it too risky to stay? It’s back to school time, and things are getting hot for the grown-ups in the classrooms of the Adult Education series! Pack a notebook and your favorite pen because we’re about to get some adult education. ;) Six fabulous authors are bringing you a series of fully standalone short stories that will make the schoolgirl in you squeal with delight. Get ready for sexy professors, inappropriate parent-teacher relationships, toe-curling college flings, and more that will have you wishing you could go back to school just one more time.
